Yesterdays Runaway.

AS Mr.. McGinnis OF the firm of
Compton and McGinnis and another
gentleman were driving down Olive
street yesterday afternoon, their horse
took fright on the corner OF Seventh

dashing the occupants to the ground,
breaking McGinnis' nose and hurting
him otherwise. The horse turned and
ran down Spring street, knocking over
a man on New Main street. The horse
was caught near Fernando street, hav-
ing done some dammage to the buggy.

POLITICAL FARMING


| Farming Is the most useful and hon
orabIr calling in which civilized man
| can engage. As long as society lasts
most of its people will be employed in
agriculture and the man who advances
the interests of the farmer will always
be the greatest public brnefactor.
But" political farming is quite an
other thing. These political farmers
do not cultivate the earth and never
did; they "toil not, neither do they
spin But they make the people do all
the spinning. Their hands are soft and
their faces fair. But they can tell all
about farming and the organization of
farmers. They run their tongues mot
bullstonguesl through the popular
mind and plant political seed during
the Spring of 1887 in order that they
may have a plentiful harvest of votes
in 1888.
What a hard worker is the political
farmer, How much keen interest he
takes in the concerns of his farming
brethren! What exquisite delight he
finds in assoclating with the agricultu-
raj classes. We will wager that all
the candidates for L. 5. Senator and all
the candidates for Governor land their
name is legion) are busy studying up
improved methods of culture, new
grasses, new fertilizers. the effects nf
irrigation and the process of dittusloH
How these honest farmers sweat az
their self-imposed labors of love. Do
you think any of them ever sweated at
honest toll
1t is pity that people are so stupid
as to be caught by such thin devises
as political farming" But they are
caught by it-and so all aspirants for
office had better get their plowS and
hoes and turn ont to fight Gen'l
Green
Study up, ye hungry candidates
coach and cram and let us hear from
you on levees and agriculture. But if
there is a patriot among you let him
avoid such blatant hypocrisy and de-
vote himself to the true work of faith

A PUBLIC SHAME,
Ouachita Tcle graph.

| Are the people of Louisiana aware
! that il large part Of the school funds
paid by them are being turned over tn
IA lawyer at Baton Rouge who charges
the School Boards of the parishes one
half for his services in getting the
funds ont of the State treasury? We
have recently learned to our utter
amazement that w. r. Rutland, law
yer living IN Baton Rouge, is doing IA
splendid business in representing
School Boards in the collection from
the State of interest due them for
several years past down to and includ
ing 1886. He charges only the modest
sum of one-half the amount collected
for his services. These funds are fixed
by the Constitution of 1879. The Hp-
preparations are made by the legisla-
lures and it is the plain and imperative
duty of every member Of the State ad-
ministration to see that the schools get
the benefit OF the taxes collected for
them. Yet, .tor his se,riccs in getting
these taxes, Il lawyer is allowed one
half! What services are necessary
Must the people pay officials to do their
duties and then pay lawyers to make
them perform those duties? Alas,
poor Louisiana! OvertaNed. beridden
with an army of useless officers, with
schools barely able to run three months
in the year, yet these hard earned
funds, which should be as sacred as the
ashes of the dead, must be collected of
the State by the services of in attor-
ney. 1t is enough to strike one dumb
with amazement and grief
We do not undertake to say who is
to blame. But whether it be the School
Boards, the State Board of Education,
the Auditor or the Treasurer, we are
sure that it is Il disgrace to the admins

practices are possible.

CHIMNEYS.


For those parts OF a chimney which
are supported throughout, stone may.
under some circumstances. says the
American Architect, he admissible, but
brick is always preferable for the pnr-
pose. The ahutments of chimney
should he tied int" the walls by wrought
iron bars of sufficient number and
strength. turned up and down at the
ends, and built into the jamhs for spve-
raj inches on each side. No part of a
tlue should he of less thickness than
half a brick, or q inches. Where slabs
of stone or slate are placed level with u
floor before the opening of n chimney.
they should invariably be laid in sound
mortar, cement, or other incombns.ihle
and non conducting substances, and If
shonld be at a distance of not less than
A. inches from the joists. flooring, or
any other woodwork. 4 chimney built
only up TO the roof and stopping at that
point is always dangerous. Every
chimney in house should he perfectly
distinct and separate from every other
chimney. from the hearth TO the txter-
nal opening. Chimneys may safely he
built in stacks, but they should on no
account have any connection with the
stacks. Brickwork around tiues should
not be less than a inches thick in any
part. BY the Code Napoleon it was not
permitted to build chimney against
the wall of an adjoining house without
isolating it by an intermediate wall of
sufficient thickness TO prevent heat
passing to the neighborins premises.
A contributor. writing from Cam
bridge, H., to q local journal, which we
copy from the American Artisan. gives
the followin: directions for the proper
construction of a chimney:
To build chimney that will draw
forever. and not fill ND with SCOT. you
must bnild it large enough in
ches square use good brick, and clay
instead of lime Mp to the comb plaster
it inside with clay mixed with salt for
chimney tops use the very best of
brick, vet them and lay them in cement
The chimney Should not be
built tight to beams or rafters, as most
chmneys settle little. and il too tight
between the beams and rafters, there is
where the crack in your chimneys come
and where the most of the fires origi-
nate, as the chimneys sometimes get
red hot. 4 chimney built from cellar
up is better and less dangerous than
one hung on the wall. Don't get your
hole too close to the ceiling
eighteen inches from it is near enough.
